Week Six
After watching the latest podcast and listening to some amazing work by other students in last weeks class I was inspired to go away and have a go myself. I began by recording some more sounds on my flute and then edited these in logic. For my piece I chose two sounds to use which were my breath in my flute and pressing my flute keys. I then (after digging out my notes from last year!) put these into the EX sampler in Logic and recorded some stuff. I used the same sounds in IXI and the best sound I got was using the Grainbox instrument.
Heather and myself had booked the recital hall on Monday morning so we had the chance to setup by ourselves and then have a go at some diffusion. This session was really useful because we both had a go at everything to do with the setup and we got a chance to properly have a look at the mixer.
Hearing what I’d composed through the eight speaker set-up was quite strange and the piece sounded completely different but also a lot better! It highlighted some problems with what I’d done and thanks to some useful comments from Heather I’m going to work on making a few changes to what I’ve done and then work on extending it.
